Default Some moron stuck a flyer on my driver's side window...

I didn't notice it until I got in my car. I thought it was on the edge, but I guess I was wrong as when I rolled down the window to get it out, it fell down the crack that the window was also going down in. How do I get it out?

Aren't you supposed to stick flyers on windshields anyway?!

Get some needle nose pliers and open the door. On the bottom of the door, there should be small open holes, there to drain any water that gets inside, if the paper fell down all the way, use the pliers and rip it out.

Or just leave it there! Naw it's not hard too take the door panel off and you should be able to get at it then. Good luck.

You gotta either yank the door panel, or get creative with the window down... try to reach something through the inner seal and belt moulding that can grab or stick to paper.

It only takes five minutes to pull the door panel and the plastic water gaurd. Don't be lazy.

raise the window up... wet it... bring it down and bring it up, maybe it'll make the flyer stick out just enough to pull it out all the way.

If the water were to stay on the window as it went down, don't you think that rain would leak inside the door too?

like the others said, the easiest way to get it out is to remove the door panel. i does not hurt for it to be left in there though.

Water does get into the door. That's why there is a plastic sheild sealing it from the door panel, and holes in the bottom to allow the water to drain.

Okay, I don't know much about any of this, but I think I'm going to go with removing the door panel. What tools do I need and where do I look at to get it off? Thanks for the input.

It's probably all wrinkled up now too since it rained today.
